A Different DianaBook shows her life not unhappy as people think.
LONDON-Nearly four years after Britain's Princess Diana died in a Paris car crash, most people remember her unhappy childhood, a loveless marriage, infidelity and a brief affair. But British journalists Tim Clayton and Phil Craig, who had a frequent view of Charles and Diana, insist her life wasn't quite like that. Their book, Diana: Story of a Princess, has been published in a British tabloid days before what would have been Diana's 40th birthday on July 1.
So much for her loveless marriage to Prince Charles: “When they looked at each other, they looked as though they wanted to rip the clothes off each other. They looked so much in love. I am convinced of it to this day.” veteran newspaper photographer Arthur Edwards told the authors about the couple's early tour to Australia.
Photographer Ken Lennox, whose telephoto snaps of the pregnant princess in a bikini outraged much of the country before Prince William's 1982 birth, agreed with Edwards.
They were “a very happy couple together”, Lennox is quoted as saying. “They went into the water and kissed each other. He carried her out of the water. She threw a towel over his head and they raced up the sand.”
An unidentified senior member of the royal household reportedly said the same. They were not unhappy at the beginning-just stormy; loving at times and confused at times, he reportedly said.
The book also says that some who knew Diana felt she exaggerated the unhappiness of her childhood.
The book includes an unusual number of quotes from identified sources.
One of them, astrologer Felix Lyle, describes a visit from Diana when she was trying to decide whether to participate in Andrew Morton's.1992 book, “Diana, Her True Story.”
This publication of her side of the marriage breakdown, with its deeply unattractive portrayal of the heir to the British throne, sealed her fate within the royal family and led to separation in 1992 and divorce in 1996.
Lyle is quoted as saying Diana told him about her marriage and of her reservations about taking part in the book.
“But she wanted revenge--there's no question about that… I think she was bitterly, bitterly hurt and would see the tearing down of the royal family as a perfectly justifiable end.”
1.Most people thought Diana________________.
2.Who insist Diana's life was not quite like what most people thought?________________.
3.选择合适的释义解释。
a) snap A.shock and anger
b) outrage B.photograph
c) confuse C.make seem larger or greater than it really is
d) exaggerate D.throw into disorder

Why not an island get-away?
Newfoundland
Price
From ??1080 per person in June 2005
We went with:
Frontier Canada frontier-travel. Co. uk/Canada
About this trip
John Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavista. Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could provide this, so he claimed it for its potential and so began the rise of the British Empire.
Newfoundland is the most easterly point in North America and was Britain’s first overseas colony until 1949, when it became part of Canada. It’s roughly the size of England and Craig’s journey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took in just a small part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.
First stop was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the journey ahead. There’s a long standing love affair between Newfoundlanders and cod. The seas off the Newfoundland coast were once the richest cod fishing grounds in the world, attracting fishermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishing these coastal villages known locally as outports.
An hour’s drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up with retired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told Craig how the landscape used to lie, and described the peculiarities of the language and accents in the area. There’s a different language in every bay.
The title “Why not an island get-away?” _________.
A. invites people to take a holiday trip to Newfoundland
B. informs people that the island is moving away from where it used to be
C. tells people that they can buy the island at the price of ??1080.
D. asks people to visit the website frontier-travel. co.uk/Canada
From the context we can conclude that “Frontier Canada” is the name of _________.
A. a tourist guide
B. a kind of fish found around the island
C. a tourist agency
D. someone who has already booked the trip
When John Cabot first discovered Cape Bonavista he was actually on a voyage to find ____.
A. North America B. Asia
C. South America D. the British Empire
According to the passage Newfoundland is now part of _________.
A. UK B. Canada C. Europe D. Bonavista
